Happy is that well-instructed Christian who is “anxious about nothing,” because, knowing the Name of God his Father, and of his Saviour Jesus Christ, he puts his trust in them and finds their Name “a high tower,” to which, in all seasons of alarm, from whatever cause, he can flee, and be, and feel, safe. Amen.
